The only remotely Arsenally thing going on is that England are playing Croatia tonight in what should be quite a good match. Hopefully Theo Walcott will get a another chance to start for his country. It will be very interesting to see how he performs in such a big game for England and I’m looking forward to it. Not that I will be getting up at 5am to watch it though.

Aside from that, I have nothing to say – so I’ll leave you today with a particularly controversial Wednesday Poll. Enjoy.

Also, can’t be arsed writing about it but it seems Arsenal are definitely in the hunt for Appiah. These quotes are taking from Harry Redknapp:

“I’d love to sign Appiah and we are interested in him but there’s nothing going on really at the moment. It’s going to be tough to get him – there are a lot of clubs chasing him, clubs like West Ham and Arsenal, which you expect because he’s a free agent. I am sure Juventus will want him back as well. There will be plenty of takers. He’s a terrific player for somebody on a free.”

I think the vote is rigged? But nevertheless I would have voted for Mr. Eboue ‘cos he’s a star. Calming Kevin must be the pinnacle of his stellar career to date. In this dull and dismal world of football fandom a few colourful characters and loose cannons (praise the pun) are essentials. Obviously he still has a long way to go to match the class of Willie Gallas and his wonderfully histrionic sit down, but the lad’s still young. Oh how I long for the days Paddy V, now there was an onfield entertainer. We are the North Bank, We are the North Bank Th North Bank High-b-ree

What a night for Theo!! Hat-trick hero for his country. Played blinding, played as a winger. Got his first international goal followed by 2 more, im buzzing!! Fabianski kept a clean sheet for Poland. Djourou played 90 minutes for the Swiss. Cesc played for 15 minutes with Spain. Listen everyone – GAEL CLICHY FINALLY PLAYED FOR FRANCE and they won!!! Sagna and Gallas also played. RVP played for the Dutch but never scored. Aaron Ramsey didnt play for Wales. Nickas Bendtner scored one and played a vital role in the win over portugal. Not sure if Ade played for Togo but they lost 1-0. Main man tonight though was undoubtedly Theo Walcott, he was a danger all the time, this is his season!

England U-19s also did well when they played Holland U-19s. Nacer Barazite played for the Dutch and Rhys Murphy, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Henri Lansbury and Gavin Hoyte all played for the 3 lions. Barazite looked classy. Murphy scored 2. Internationals went good for Arsenal this time!! No RvP injury and what a night for young Theo.
